Cloud Fog City was a city with an area of 15 square kilometers and a population of 120,000. In China, it was not even comparable to a small county, but in the sparsely populated Siberian wilderness, it was already a sizable stronghold. The largest city here only had a population of a million.
With the city lord's order to retreat, the city, which was run by a modern company system and a sect system, began to get busy.
Financial accounting, packing of resources, evacuation of personnel, these tasks were already recorded and practiced. Most of the workers began to get busy.
However, many of the older workers were at a loss. They had worked in this place for more than ten years, and now they were going to abandon it? Were they going to give away all the herb bases that they had worked so hard to develop?
Wang Qi was one of them. He was 36 years old this year and had just graduated from university when he followed a few friends into Russia.
In the end, he was recruited during Cloud Fog City's recruitment drive. After a background check, he signed a strict confidentiality contract.
At that time, he only thought that it was a multinational corporation that wanted to develop in the Siberian wilderness. He was attracted by the generous salary and came to apply. After working there for a while, he slowly found out the inside story. It was just that it was easy to get on, but not easy to get off …
It was already the 10th year this year. Due to the advantage of the vitality industry compared to other industries, his current salary was not low. As a skilled logistics personnel, he could get 21000 USD, which was considered a very high salary in America.
He was also a man of integrity and had no bad habits, so he had saved up a large sum of money.
He believed that he would be able to find a new job after returning to China. Moreover, with the techniques and skills that he had learned over the years, he was confident that he would not have to compete with ordinary people for normal jobs.
However, he had already gotten used to the comfortable life here and did not want to leave or change the environment.
This was a city of Extraordinaires. Everyone was a worker and their family. The older workers all had a set of techniques that they could cultivate. Here, he worked, and after work, he cultivated.
He was 36 years old this year and looked the same as when he was 25. As for those friends who brought him to Russia, they were different from him who was alone without any worries. When Cloud Fog City was hiring, because they had their families to worry about, they did not agree to the strict confidentiality agreement.
After working in Russia for a few years, they returned to China to look for new opportunities as there were more opportunities in China.
It was not until last year's great change when Cloud Fog City gradually loosened its supervision that he was able to use the internet to reconnect with his old friend.
After the video, he found that most of his old friends had white hair and looked much older. Speaking of which, everyone had some success in their careers.
However, the competition in the country was too intense, and he was ranked among the top internationally. If he did not work hard, it would be hard for him to make a name for himself. His two or three old friends were busy working hard, and he was still single …
And here he was, in September last year, he had just chased after a beautiful Fusang woman to become his wife.
She was gentle and virtuous. After he returned home, he didn't have to do anything. Every day, he was served very comfortably. He was envied by those fellows, and one of them even wanted to seek refuge with him.
There were many people who had fled from Japan to the wilderness to make a living, and most of them were women.
After the Fire Meteor last year, a big monster suddenly appeared and sealed the four islands of Japan with a fog. This had been going on for more than half a year. There was news in the early years, but now there were only old rumors.
His wife, Keiko Yamanashi, had said that the great demon only ate men and disliked the taste of women. When she was escaping, she was blocked by the demon. Among the ten people who came with her, there were four women and six men. Only four women managed to escape, and the men were all eaten.
There were many situations like this where a big demon wreaked havoc in a country. The GASATO did not care at all, and the big countries were also busy with their own affairs. How could they spare the manpower to care about others when their own countries were not peaceful?
At this time, he was in his wooden villa, packing things with Keiko. But in reality, it was only Keiko who was busy.
Keiko had the experience of escaping and facing that kind of big demon. In comparison, she was not too flustered. Instead, she comforted him that he would be able to settle down in China.
But obviously, Wang Qi did not listen to her. He just stood there in a daze, looking at the peach tree that he planted in the yard. It was blooming, and the temperature here was lower, so it bloomed much later.
Other than that, there were a few cherry trees that he planted last year to please Keiko. They had just bloomed last year.
The temperature in the wilderness changed drastically. In summer, the temperature was high but the duration was short, and in winter, it was cold for a long time. But the entire Cloud Fog City was covered in a mysterious formation. Not only could the formation ensure that it was hidden, it also had the effect of keeping people warm.
It could keep the temperature of the entire city from fluctuating between summer and winter. During the harsh winter, when the temperature in the wilderness dropped to -30 to 50 degrees Celsius, the temperature here could still be maintained above 0 degrees Celsius, reaching the temperature south of the Qinling Mountains in China, which was suitable for living.
Setting up a formation that covered an area of 10 square kilometers would consume a lot of money and materials. It took more than 10 years to build it bit by bit.
Just this large scale formation alone was a priceless treasure. No wonder Landlord Liu and the others were reluctant to give it up.
"Hubby, are you still in a daze? Please come and help us pack up. " Keiko was packing some necessities, and she had to look after her two adopted daughters from her homeland. She was really busy.
They were 7 and 12 years old, the younger one was called Sanori, and the older one was called Saki. It was rare that they did not have to go to school. They were playing with their phones at home.
Wang Qi finally woke up from his dream, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there. Sanori, Saki, stop playing and help mom."
"Hi," Saki replied lazily. She did not get up, and was still playing with her phone.
"Got it, dad." Sanori was more obedient. She put down her phone and went to help her mother pack up.
He went to pack his documents, passport, employment contract, ID card that he had used in China, and bank card. These were the most important things.
Although his mind was still in a mess, he still remembered clearly where the things were.
"Keiko, do you still remember where I put my cultivation notes?" Wang Qi asked.
"It should be in the attic on the second floor. You never let anyone see it, right?" Keiko put the expensive leather clothes into the box, and then went to the kitchen to find a huge ginseng. She put it in the box, and then put the box under the leather clothes.
After putting the most valuable things into two boxes, Wang Qi and his wife carried one box in each hand and one child in the other. They locked the yard and were about to leave.
"Wang Qi, hurry up. You're the only one left in our team." Just as he walked out of the yard with his family, he was stopped by Captain Liu.
"Got it, Captain." Wang Qi quickly brought his family and followed Captain Liu to a bus that was parked nearby.
The bus was already full of neighbors. Everyone was talking about what had happened and how they would settle down in the future.
The bus drove to the east of the city. There was a large airport that was used to transport people and resources to the 14 vitality crop bases in the suburbs. It was the perfect time to evacuate.
Captain Liu was in his 50s, but he looked like a 40-year-old man.
He was very enthusiastic and comforted everyone, "Don't panic. The bosses have a strong background, and there will be a place for you to settle down in China. Don't worry and follow the company. They will take care of you."
Everyone on the bus felt a little more relieved. People tended to stick together, and it was better to have an organization to rely on than to escape alone.
After the bus drove for a while, Wang Qi's youngest daughter, Sanori, suddenly pointed out of the window and screamed, "Look, there's a dragon flying in the sky!"
Captain Liu was stunned for a moment. Then, he opened the window and looked out. He saw an extremely long green dragon flying over the city. It looked even longer than a large Boeing 777. It had to be at least 300 meters long.
"Captain, does that mean we don't have to leave?" Wang Qi hurriedly looked out and realized that it was real. He suddenly had a glimmer of hope.
He thought of the company's recent internal publicity. "Great success in opening up Guifang!"
The content was that the company had spent a lot of money to hire the help of the Dragon God. There was a short video of the green dragon dancing in the sky, and a group photo of Landlord Liu, Landlord Yun, and the Dragon God in human form. A few of the higher-ups expressed their opinions, saying that this represented the company's hard power had reached a new level.
Speaking of which, when he posted the group photo on WeChat, his wife and two daughters used the image of the Dragon God as the background of their phone. He was quite jealous. He had never been treated like this before …
Captain Liu frowned and said, "No matter what, we should follow the orders from above and gather at the airport to prepare for retreat."
…
At this time, Vigilante A had already turned into a human and landed on the square in front of the Cloud Fog City Governor's Hall.
The System said, "Can't we just fly down on the sword? Host, why did you suddenly ask me to turn into dragon form and fly around the city before coming down?"
Fang Ning pretended to be profound. "You don't understand. The price of an appearance has a lot to do with the aura. Look at those celebrities, which one of them doesn't dress up meticulously? There are also professional teams in charge of various styles. Although Vigilante A is handsome enough that he doesn't need makeup, they invited us based on our strength. The green dragon form looks mighty, and it makes people think it's worth it. "
The System finally understood. "Mr. Rich Boss, you're really smart. They should pay attention to their appearance if they're willing to pay five billion USD. I'll play some background music later to set it off …"
Fang Ning nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad. You're worth teaching."
The System did not refute. It was not even a year old in the first place …
He was not surprised that the Cloud Fog City was willing to pay five billion USD. Vigilante A's identity and power were worth the price.
The annual maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier in America was more than one billion USD. With the System's current combat power, it would not be a problem for it to destroy ten aircraft carriers …
The Cloud Fog City was a powerful force with Extraordinaires. They did not have a lot of people, but they controlled a lot of territory. They relied on the Vitality Industry to bring in rich profits, which was comparable to those oil-rich countries.
Their military expenditure was mainly invested in individual combat power, so it was normal for them to be able to pay this amount.
Moreover, based on the current situation, it was a moment of life and death for them. Once the Russian totem appeared, Duke Yun's Pond-level power would not be able to fight it. Even if he sold everything he had, he would still need external help to have any hope of staying.
At this time, Vigilante A, who had a reputation and demonstrated his power on the spot, was naturally on the list of invitations.
Fang Ning naturally did not know that the Cloud Fog City was facing an even more dangerous situation. It was already the eve of a great retreat.
…
In the Duke's Hall, Duke Yun's complexion was slightly better. After taking a few antidotes, he was no longer as green as before. However, he still could not exert much power, so he could only pretend to be normal.
Beside him, there was a group of Extraordinaire bodyguards guarding him.
At this time, he turned to his cousin and asked, "Sis Xuan, how's the retreat going?"
He could not leave. Only by staying here, relying on the power of a Pond-level powerhouse to suppress the situation, could he give the others time to retreat.
Otherwise, his old rivals would immediately pounce on him and devour him along with his property, not giving him any chance to make a comeback.
His biggest worry now was that the other party would see through him, or that they would not be able to hold it in and attack him.
If that happened, he would have to abandon most of his years of hard work, and could only bring a few people with him to escape.
His cousin, Landlord Yun Xuan quickly replied, "Landlord Liu and the others are supervising everywhere, mainly because we lack large interspatial equipment. Large amounts of newly harvested medicinal herbs need to be packed and transported away by cargo planes. There are not enough passenger planes either, so we have to spend money to urgently hire them from China.
"There are a total of 123,443 people in the city, including their families and employees. It will take many planes to transport them away. Fortunately, since last year, the medicinal herbs have been harvesting well. We have established business relations with a few major clans in China, and they are using their connections to help us transfer military cargo planes over."
"They're all a bunch of hungry wolves." Duke Yun sighed. As the governor of a city, he could naturally see this.
The manpower that he had painstakingly trained for more than ten years, and the planting technology that he had researched, were all coveted by these people. Once they returned to the country, those rich and powerful clans would probably rush to divide them up.
There was no paradise anywhere, but at least there was a chance to live a stable life in the country.
At this moment, a bodyguard in black ran in to report, "Governor, the Venerable Dragon God is here."
"That's great, he really is a man of his word." He was overjoyed, and just as he was about to stand up, he felt a little weak, so he could only lean back on the chair again.
After a while, they heard a sonorous, powerful, and passionate music coming from outside the hall. Before they could see the person, they could already hear the music.
The Extraordinaire bodyguards beside Yun Hui were all confused after hearing it. They did not know what was going on, so they secretly raised their guard.
Duke Yun was stunned for a moment, then came to a realization. He waved his hand and said, "It sounds like the music of the God of Gamblers. Rumor has it that whenever Vigilante A makes an appearance, he always brings his own background music. Now that I've seen it, it seems to be true. Don't panic, Sis Xuan, bring them to welcome him."
He was 46 years old this year, and had experienced the boom of Hong Kong and Taiwanese movies, so he had heard this music before. Now that he was a Pond-level powerhouse, his memory had greatly improved, so he could recall it.
Powerhouses had their own hobbies, and some of them were very strange. In comparison, the other party's hobbies were very normal.
Landlord Yun was only in her twenties, and she was a young and beautiful woman, so she could not hear it at all. She immediately admired her cousin.
Without the other party's orders, she had already brought her many bodyguards to the entrance of the hall, and formed two lines to welcome him.
She had seen Vigilante A's power with her own eyes, and whether the situation could be reversed now depended on him alone.
Naturally, they had invited more than one person, but the only one who agreed to come to fight against the Russian totem, the Spirit Bear, was Vigilante A. When the others heard that they were going to fight against the Russian totem, they all rejected immediately, not at all tempted by the huge reward.
This was also the main reason why Yun Hui wanted to retreat when he was heavily injured and realized that the other nine forces had already betrayed him. The difference in strength was too great. The Giant Spirit Bear was already extremely powerful, and with the addition of nine Pond-level powerhouses, how could they resist?
His original plan was to gather many Pond-level powerhouses to fight against the powerful Spirit Bear. Now that the situation had been reversed, the other party had gathered many Pond-level powerhouses to fight against him and Vigilante A …
Vigilante A had arrived in time, so he was naturally very happy. At least he could buy enough time for the retreat.
In his opinion, the other party's strength was far higher than his. Before the Spirit Bear swept over, the other nine forces would not dare to invade the Cloud Fog City. His biggest worry had been eliminated.
